It's really strange... even the background music in the game, 510, is made to sound rather melancholic...
Haven't you noticed? Otto is really going to die!!
Indeed, Changguang had said before that he might never see Otto again.
Now Otto has said, "I will prove it with my own death..."
Holy crap! This is a cause for celebration! Otto is really going to be in deep trouble!
[I have a feeling... Otto was entrusting his son to someone else when he said those things...?]
[Upstairs... I feel the same way...]
[Suddenly, I realized that Otto's words that angered Durandal seemed to be partly an attempt to shift the blame, perhaps trying to prevent Theresa from being prejudiced against Durandal?]
[Not only that, he deliberately took all the blame for the evil deeds committed by Destiny!]
[I understand... Theresa is, after all, the future bishop, while Durandal and Rita used to serve Otto and were even rivals of Theresa and the others... I guess they're afraid Theresa might have a problem with the two of them.]
[And Otto's willingness to take the blame was simply an attempt to push Durandal and Rita away?]
[Holy crap?! I don't believe Otto would be that kind?]
Hmm... it's not impossible... Otto actually dotes on Theresa quite a bit, and Rita and Durandal have always been diligently working for Otto.
As long as it doesn't conflict with the "resurrection of Kallen" issue, Otto is quite good to them.
……
The discussion in the live chat was incredibly lively.
Eden, too, fell into deep thought.
Otto has always been perceived as an evil schemer.
His actions this time were so unusual that it could easily lead people to mistakenly believe he was trying to clear his name.
But... it's really hard to guess what Otto is thinking.
Even though Otto clearly stated that he was going to die; even though the atmosphere had been built up to be somewhat tragic; even though Otto's words sounded like he was entrusting his son to someone...
But it still makes one wonder if this is Otto's next conspiracy...
"Let's keep watching..."
Eden eventually gave up thinking and chose to continue watching.
After all, there's still a lot more to the story in this update, and her doubts will eventually be resolved.
And the storyline of Honkai Impact 3rd has never disappointed her.
Chapter 147 Otto: Come and hit me, or I'll look down on you.
After Otto left, Theresa and the others quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly chased after him.
When they chased after her, they found that Amber was the only one outside the church.
"Lady Theresa?"
"Amber, where has your bishop gone?"
Amber bowed slightly, behaving with utmost respect: "I'm sorry, Lady Theresa... the bishop requested that I protect his privacy."
"But now that you have obtained the core of the Herrscher of Domination, why not send it back to the Hyperion for research?"
“I was planning to do that anyway, you didn’t need to remind me,” Theresa nodded seriously, then turned to look at Durandal:
"Durandal, would you like to come with me?"
At this moment, Durandal was still somewhat at a loss.
In her mind, she should still be working for Otto, but Otto did not assign her any tasks before leaving.
"This...I'm not sure right now..."
Just as she hesitated, Rita spoke softly, "Of course we will return to the Hyperion with you, Lady Theresa."
"Huh? Rita's coming too?"
“Of course~” Rita smiled alluringly: “You can consider... our service period for Lord Otto has come to an end.”
"In the foreseeable future, we will serve you, Lady Theresa."
Rita's words practically confirm that Otto is definitely going to be taken offline.
On the way, Rita and the others discussed the strange aspects of the incident.
They still couldn't figure out Otto's purpose in orchestrating all of this and bringing them together.
After all, if it were just about destroying Otto's soul steel body and retrieving that last Herrscher core...
There's absolutely no need for such a grand gesture.
Theresa, Durandal, and Rita, a total of two and a half S-rank Valkyries.
Even if a fully-fledged Herrscher came, the three of them could easily dismantle her.
Therefore, everyone finally came to the conclusion that retrieving the Herrscher core was probably part of Otto's plan.
Because in Otto's heart, reviving Kallen is definitely the most important thing.
Retrieving the Herrscher core is a relatively unimportant matter.
But this time, Otto devoted a lot of energy to this matter.
……
After reading these conversations, the players were equally puzzled.
Was it really just for the sake of entrusting the orphan?
However, the next second, a voiceover appeared.
The bishop of Destiny's high-profile actions, which felt out of place, prompted the Valkyries, who were originally from different factions, to start exchanging more information with each other.
But at this moment, as they are busy working through the fog, they are unaware of everything they know so far—
[Actually, it was all a "performance" that the bishop deliberately put on for them.]
The real crisis lurks within these unsettling "performances"; and the ultimate outcome will be far beyond their expectations.
Upon hearing this narration, the audience couldn't help but facepalm.
Sure enough, everything Otto does is driven by ulterior motives.
Entrusting one's children to another is all nonsense...
Even Alicia couldn't help but complain.
"Seriously... I was almost moved by what Otto did just now~"
"Hmm? Otto isn't worth my emotion?"
"Hehe~" Alicia chuckled upon seeing this comment, "I think it's fine~"
"For the sake of a loved one, 500 years of dedicated research... um..."
"While he did many bad things, that much is undeniable, but his beliefs are admirable."
Upon hearing Alicia's words, Eden subconsciously nodded in agreement.
At the same time, she thought about things even more.
Otto is indeed a villain.
But... compared to all the works of art she had ever seen, Otto was the villain who left the deepest impression on her.
Then, she thought of the entire storyline of Honkai Impact 3.
The ability to create compelling characters and evoke emotions is truly remarkable.
Each character possesses a unique charm.
The same applies to purely evil people like Otto.
In her opinion, Otto's character was already perfect.
But this chapter, without a doubt, revolves around Otto.
Each chapter of the Honkai Impact 3rd story elevates a character.
And this chapter... I guess it's Otto's turn...
With this in mind, she couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
How shocking will the ending of this chapter be?
She doesn't think it will clear Otto's name.
After all, no matter what Otto does, he can't clear his name.
We'll just have to wait and see what kind of impression Otto leaves on people in the end.
